Pork is a set of tools built around the elsa C/C++ parser. The primary focus of pork is to provide automated refactoring (Gecko:DeCOMtamination) and static analysis tools for Mozilla2. Pork announcement
Pork is a fork of oink. In the future pork should become a development branch for oink.
More info for pork can be found on Taras' blog.
Requirements
- GCC 3.4.x or older that can successfully build Mozilla. 64bit Ubuntu, 32bit RHEL/CentOS are known to work. 32bit Ubuntu/Debian feature a linker bug that prevents Mozilla from building with gcc 3.4.6.
- MCPP is required for refactoring tools
- SpiderMonkey is required by DeHydra
- Bison and Flex
- patchutils are recommended to manage manual and automatic patches
- MQ extension for hg is recommended. Alternatively, quilt can be used instead.
Tools
Pork is broken down into tools that focus on a specific tasks. The tools can rarely be combined and thus should be applied incrementally.
- PorkVM is a CentOS virtual machine image with a presetup pork + moz checkout.
- DeHydra is a scriptable static analysis tool. It is useful for finding patterns in the codebase. It has been used to find bugs, produce class diagrams and to infer auto-refactoring candidates in the code.
- Outparamdel rewrites code using outparameters to utilize the return value instead.
- Prcheck is a static analysis tool which produces patches as output. It is useful for correcting bugs that resulting PRBool behaving more like an int than a C++ bool.
- Garburator rewrites nsCOMPtrs allocated on the stack into stack variables to assist the XPCOMGC project.
- Squash is now obsolete. It was primarily written to explore how elsa can be utilized to assist with Gecko:DeCOMtamination. Many rewriting strategies and patching code were first implemented in squash.
